When it comes to nailing fashion girl style, you’re going to need a lot of necklaces. We’re not talking about big chunky statement necklaces, oversized chains, or massive sculptural pieces, but instead, a handful of delicate little pendant necklaces will do quite nicely. Layered from choker-length to waist-length, a minimum of two layered necklaces and a maximum of five yields the perfect fashion look.

The art of layering your necklaces like a fashion girl lies in balance – you’ll want necklaces in the same tone, in a similar family of style, and in altering lengths to really get it right. Fashion girls especially love pendants that are quirky, irreverent, or maybe even a little bit ironic. Be on the lookout for necklaces decorated with hamza hands, evil eyes, ancient-looking coins, crosses, shells, tiny pearls, crystals, raw gemstones, wishbones, animals, birds, and other small, delicate charms.

To get you started on your own artfully layered look, we’ve combined an edit of fashion girl looks with a shoppable guide featuring cool pieces in a variety of lengths and at both affordable and aspirational price points.
